After lunch, Li Yi first saw off Jiang Longcheng and Zhang Xinyao, the married couple, and then settled Zhang Ziqiang in!
By the time he returned to the room, Jiang Xue had already put Yun Rui and Yun Jin to sleep.
Then the two of them lay down right next to the children!
Looking at his wife’s rosy cheeks, Li Yi couldn’t resist planting a firm kiss on her face.
Although Jiang Xue was a little shy, she didn’t stop him.
Seeing this, Li Yi took it as a signal and immediately lay on top of his wife, sliding his hand under her clothes…
But just then, Jiang Xue suddenly pressed down on Li Yi’s wandering hand and whispered, “The kids are still here!”
“It’s fine, he’s asleep!”
“It’s broad daylight—what if someone sees us?”
“I locked the door. No one can get in!”
“Hmm…”
That simple “Hmm” gave Li Yi boundless courage.
With no further resistance, he became adept at undressing her, and soon had them both stripped of their clothes…
In an instant, the room was filled with the warmth of spring…
After quite a while, a drenched-in-sweat Li Yi carried Jiang Xue—who was exhausted and limp on the bed—into the bathroom!
They returned to the bedroom and lay down again.
“By the way, honey, how did you do on the exams? Which school did you apply to?”
Jiang Xue laughed and said, “You’re just now asking me about that? I thought you’d forgotten!”
“How could I forget? Dad said you wanted to surprise me, so I didn’t ask in front of Third Brother and the others!” Li Yi explained.
“I scored 445 points and have already been accepted to Jingcheng University!” Jiang Xue said happily.
“Really? My wife is amazing!”
Li Yi was genuinely happy for her and deeply moved by her hard work.
After all, before they were reunited as family, her motivation for studying so hard had been to get into college and then register their marriage with him.
“By the way, what major did you apply for?” Li Yi asked again.
“Business Administration, with a focus on accounting!”
“Um… what made you decide to study that major?”
In Li Yi’s view, it would be fine for his woman to study literature or art, but studying a business administration major made no sense at all.
He’d never let his wife go out and work—that’s just impossible!
“Hehe, I want to manage your finances after I graduate so you don’t go spending recklessly!”
Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly felt that his wife’s surprise was a bit over the top, but at the same time, he realized that whether she went to college or not really didn’t matter all that much!
Though he thought this, Li Yi still smiled and said, “It’s a nice idea, but are you sure you can manage my money?”
“I should be able to. I’m a real college student now!” Jiang Xue said confidently.
Li Yi gently tickled her pert little nose and asked, “So do you even know how much money I have?”
“Didn’t you say before that our family has a few million? What’s the matter?”
“That was back then. Now it’s way more than that!”
“So how much is it now?” Jiang Xue asked curiously.
“Take a guess.”
“Four or five million?”
“More than that!”
“Six million?”
“Think bigger—go higher!”
“Then… don’t we already have ten million?” Jiang Xue asked in a hushed voice.
“More than that—go even higher!”
“Still not enough… Never mind, I’m not guessing anymore. Just tell me how much money we actually have!” Jiang Xue said, sounding a bit petulant.
“Hehe, then listen up—our family’s total assets now exceed 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars!”
“2… 2.3 billion…”
Upon hearing that figure, Jiang Xue was completely dumbfounded.
She felt like she’d only ever seen numbers that big when memorizing pi!
“Is it really 23… billion?”
“Yeah, but it’s in Hong Kong dollars!”
“So how much is that in our currency?”
“Less than 800 million!”
“Well… that’s still a lot. No, actually, it’s a huge amount!”
Then Jiang Xue asked again, “Where did we get all this money? Didn’t you say earlier that…”
“Hehe, I made it all on my trip to Hong Kong. Let me tell you the whole story in detail!”
Immediately, Li Yi recounted in detail how he had dominated the Hong Kong stock market.
The thrilling tale left Jiang Xue’s blood boiling, and the look of admiration in her eyes toward her man grew even stronger!
After quite a while, Li Yi finally finished recounting his experiences in Hong Kong.
“So, not only did you make a fortune in Hong Kong this time, but you also started a company and got a huge house for free?”
“Yeah, the house is absolutely stunning. It’s right on Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. From up there, you can see not only most of the city but also the ocean!”
Li Yi continued, “Once Yunrui and Yunjin are a little older, I can take you both there for a vacation!”
“Really!” Jiang Xue said happily.
“Yeah!”
Seeing how happy his wife looked, Li Yi smiled and said, “Aren’t you worried at all?”
“Worried about what?”
“Dad was really worried when he found out I’d made so much money. He was afraid that once I had money, I’d look down on you. He even sat me down for a long talk about it!” Li Yi said.
“So, will you look down on me?”
“No. Back at the old house, when you agreed to marry me, I swore I’d make you the happiest woman in the world. That vow was true then, it’s true now, and it will always be true!” Li Yi said earnestly.
“I believe you!”
Then Jiang Xue added, “Actually, I was worried before. Back when you and Third Brother were in the clothing business and made over a million in a month and a half, I really had no idea what to expect at the time!”
“So you were worried…”
Before Li Yi could finish his question, Jiang Xue cut him off: “You dispelled my doubts and worries step by step through your actions. You made me believe you’re still the same man—the one willing to pay the highest dowry to marry me, the one who’d secretly buy me twisted doughnuts and snowflake cream, and the one who’d fight a whole group of educated youths for me!”
“So, I firmly believe that whether you’re a billionaire or penniless, you’ll never look down on me. If one day you really do look down on me—or even leave me—the reason will definitely be my fault!”
Li Yi was truly moved by his wife’s words. He held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, “You’re my wife and the mother of my children. How could I ever look down on you or abandon you?”
Just then, Jiang Xue suddenly sighed and said, “What a pity!”
“What’s a pity?”
“You have way too much money. Even if I graduate from college successfully, I don’t think I’ll be able to manage all that!” Jiang Xue said with a hint of disappointment.
“Not necessarily. If you want to manage our family’s finances well, you’ll have to study hard—especially the rules of international financial settlement!”
“Why do I need to master international financial settlement rules?”
“Because we’re now integrated with the international community, so we have to follow their rules!”
“Okay, then I’ll definitely study hard once I get to college!”
“Mm-hmm. Go to sleep. When you wake up, we’ll go give Mom and Grandpa their gifts!”
“There are gifts too?”
“Yes, I bought gifts for everyone, including you. But I’m tired now—we’ll look at them when you wake up!”
“Okay, but can you let go of me?”
“Why?”
“It’s hot!”
